AerialX's counter-drone record includes manufacturer-described detection, defeat and incident-investigation work, with DroneBullet as a named historical development concept. May 2019 reporting attributed to the company's CEO describes a small multirotor kinetic interceptor using a forward day/night camera and machine-vision guidance. Those are dated design claims, not a current delivered configuration or measured effectiveness statement.
DND lists AerialX as a defeat-system participant in the 2019 Suffield Counter-UAS Sandbox and as a detect-and-defeat participant in 2022. The programme provided test and feedback opportunities, but the public record does not disclose AerialX's performance results. Earlier company material also describes machine-vision, radio and digital-forensics expertise for counter-drone and investigation work.
GreyGhost was a separate licensed project discussed by KWESST. Its August 2022 filing states that AerialX had not delivered a functioning prototype to KWESST and that further investment was discontinued. That statement concerns the licensee's project at that time; it does not resolve the outcome of every AerialX development or later test. Flare, listed by ISED as an illuminated search-and-rescue microdrone, is a different product and supplies no counter-drone acceptance evidence.
The current contracting route is unresolved. Corporations Canada records AerialX Drone Solutions Inc. as dissolved for non-compliance on May 28, 2025. Legacy company pages with a 2019 copyright footer remain accessible, but do not establish a current operating entity. That legal status does not determine whether the brand or technology transferred, but a current supplier, rights holder and supported configuration need to be identified before availability can be represented.
These describe the reviewed application scope, not confirmed deployments, released requirements or procurement eligibility.
DND confirms historical 2019 and 2022 Sandbox participation without public AerialX performance results. KWESST reported an undelivered functional prototype in its separate GreyGhost project in 2022. Current configuration, technical acceptance and support responsibility remain unresolved.
Current ordering, delivery and support are unverified. The identified federal corporation was dissolved in May 2025 and no successor was identified in the bounded review. Confirm the operating counterparty and rights holder before seeking a product or evaluation commitment.
A technology readiness level is not established by the reviewed public sources.
Counter-drone detection and defeat systems may help teams working on Sovereign defence capability areas by contributing to detection and situational awareness, autonomous and uncrewed systems, and aerospace operations.
This is a reviewed public-source assessment. It is not procurement eligibility, endorsement, customer interest, or classified demand.
These records support this capability and its published Mission area and Defence need connections. A source count is not a count of independent confirmations.
